For Advanced editing... her eyes need to POP! They're a bit lackluster, IMHO. (not voting)

Creepy but cool. I like the makeup on the chest and face, but the right side doesn't have any and it feels a little off balance to me. Overall it is a great shot.

Great story. Boy all I get when I'm shooting weird things is dirty looks! Wish there were more Franks around. You did a nice job on the processing - has that vintage feel. Good luck with the project - hope to see some more of it posted here.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

It's always tough to see an imaginative image like this one get a low score. But it happens now and then.

I have a feeling that some of the techniques you used were misinterpreted as 'mistakes' as in your deliberately almost monochromatic image. Then our voters often come down hard on images with foreground blur. Still, you did receive some positive comments from those who 'got it' and you had a fine chance to photograph good subject matter in situ so some plusses came from the experience.

About the only suggestion I would make with this fun image would have been to round out the tops of those sneakers to make it appear that an invisible entity was actually in them. But, really that's just another interpretation of your fine idea.

Best regards,

Alice

Great unconventional image. Wish there was more "dirt/grit" on the shoes. 9

This is pretty cool. Don't find too many things like this anymore.
